We have the rescheduled show at St.James Church, Piccadilly (London) coming up at the end of the month on Thursday 29th September. We had to cancel it earlier in the year as we had just been asked to support Fleet Foxes (sorry but it was quite a good reason). Its going to be a sweet show, support comes from the magical Trevor Moss and Hannah-Lou.
See you in the pews x
